I'm seriously interested in this despite knowing next to nothing about the system. I can't decide whether I'd rather play a shining exemplar of all that is good, or The Worst Knight. Of course, given the length of the Pendragon campaign, 'both' is probably an option.

Still interested! I know Sir Owain is a Cymric Knight from Salisbury, and for the sake of simplicity I'll make him Christian. What's next?

All this rolling on tables seemed a bit much, so I sucked it up and bought the pdf. Should hopefully have time to generate a character over the weekend. Anyway, all that aside, when I bought the pdf Nocturnal games gave me a link that lets you buy additional copies of the pdf from Drivethru for $10 - so if anyone's looking to get into this game on the cheap, drop me a PM and I'll hook you up.

I rolled for everything on Orokos, but haven't linked directly to the results. You can check my dice here if you feel the need. I also didn't bother generating his entire extended family, although it was tempting. Cum Aperto Corde is apparently Latin for 'with an open heart'. SIR OWAIN THE JUST Homeland: Salisbury Culture: Cymric Religion: Roman Christian Class: Vassal Knight Home: Shrewton Manor Father's Name: Sir Hewgon Father's Class: Vassal Knight Family Characteristic: Love for Arms (+10 Heraldry) Son Number: 1 Age: 21 Born: 464 Squired: 479 Knighted: 485 Titled: Landed: 485 Round Tabled: Died: Wed: Spouse: Will: Children: Liege Lord: Earl of Salisbury Glory: 1136 (including knighthood bonus) Traits Chaste 13/Lustful 7 *Energetic 10/Lazy 10 Forgiving 13/Vengeful 7 *Generous 10/Selfish 10 Honest 10/Deceitful 10 *Just 16/Arbitrary 4 *Merciful 13/Cruel 7 *Modest 13/Proud 7 Pious 10/Worldly 10 Prudent 10/Reckless 10 Temperate 13/Indulgent 7 Trusting 10/Suspicious 10 *Valorous 15/Cowardly 5 Chivalry Bonus?

(£1) Horses Salamander (charger) Faithful (rouncy) Modesty (rouncy) Steadfast (sumpter) Equipment at Home Nowt Squire ??? Holdings Shrewton Army Old Family Knights: 0 Middle-Aged Family Knights: 1 (Hewgon's younger brother) Young Family Knights: 1 (First cousin on mother's side) Vassals: 0 Other Lineage Men: 12 Levy (from Newton): 55 Annual Glory Awards Traits: 16 (Just) Chivalry: 0 Holdings: 6 (according to DCB) Passions: 64 (Loyalty (Lord), Hospitality, Honor, Hate (Saxons)) Religion: 0 TOTAL: 80 History Great-grandfather Melion racked up 2500 Glory - so he was pretty boss. His son Clegis was born in 410 and knighted in 431. Clegis served on Hadrian's Wall, gaining some minor glory against the picts, then he fell sick and died in 442, leaving behind his widow Astrid, the three-year-old Hewgon, and a legacy of crushing mediocrity. Final Grandpa Glory = 1286 We rejoin the family in 460, when Hewgon is knighted. His tenure as a knight is entirely uneventful garrison duty until the Night of Long Knives in 463. The family gets the Hate (Saxons) passion at 16. In late 463 Hewgon marries Yseult, one of the widows left behind by the Night of Long Knives, and fathers Owain, who is born suspicously early in February. He took up arms with Aurelius Ambrosius and was present at the Siege of Carlion where he acquitted himself well (75 Glory). Then he went back to his garrison. Over the next several years he participated in scattered fighting but never really made any great impact before dying well against the rampaging Saxons in 475. Final Father Glory = 1358 So Owain springs from entirely unremarkable stock, unless you reach all the way back to his great-grandfather Melion. If he's going to bring glory to his family name he's going to have to do it himself. He's a big, slow, ugly man but even-handed, honourable, halfway decent with a sword or a falcon and generally virtuous. potatocubed fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Oct 26, 2013 |

(Jokes aside, I rolled Newton on my character, so that manor is claimed, you'll need to roll again until you get one that isn't already taken.)
